This is the Nocatee page for roof insurance claim help. The short version: you want to understand whether they have a claim and to not get steamrolled by the adjuster, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteThe hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage, not a flat amount, so a coastal claim needs to clear a much higher bar than an inland wind claim. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name. New-construction underlayment is often the minimum synthetic; upgrading it during any re-roof is a small cost with a big insurance payoff.
What it costs in Nocatee: there is no fee to the homeowner for inspection and claim documentation — the roofer is paid from the approved claim, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible.
Many Florida carriers now offer policies that pay actual cash value on older roofs rather than full replacement cost — worth checking before you assume a claim will cover a new roof.
How it works
A request for additional payment when the adjuster's scope missed items — code upgrades, drip edge, ice-and-water shield, or damage found once the roof is opened up. Common and legitimate.
Roofer. An inspection before you file tells you whether there's enough damage to exceed the deductible and gives you photo evidence dated before the adjuster's visit.
